Parent Association News BUDDY FAMILIES Did you move to Norway without knowing anyone? In the school holidays? At Christmas time, Easter or during the summer break? Would it have been nice to be able to call someone and meet up? Would a friendly face have helped? The confusion of relocating can sometimes be overwhelming. As the Parent Association plays a strong part in the sociallife of ISS families, we feel it would be good if we could take a more active role in welcoming new families to Stavanger. Whether this be during term time or the holiday periods, we are aiming to set up a scheme to help newly arrived families as they find their feet in Norway. If you can remember how it felt, and if you feel you would now like to help others, then you might be interested in our new ‘Buddy Family’ scheme. We need to set up a list of potential ‘Buddy Families’ so that we can introduce families to each other….they may be living in the same area, or have children of similar ages. It may involve anything from a simple phone-call to showing people around your area or sharing information. we hope and believe this system will make the settlingin process smoother and less disorientating, as well as establishing some firm friendships. every iss parent is automatically a member of the PA, so please do not feel you must be a Board member to help us. If you are interested in signing up as a potential ‘Buddy’, contact jane.grieve@getmail.no and we will start our list. Friends of ISS Coffee Mornings are each and every Monday morning. We meet in the cafeteria, and everyone is welcome to come and join us between 8:30am and 10:00am. Sometimes we are busy knitting, chatting, doing craft activities or finding out things that are happenening locally. We have started a Yahoo group for communications - to join simply send an email to: friendsofiss-subscribe@yahoogroups.com You can email our group to ask questions, find out what is happening and keep up with the latest events around Stavanger Any Questions?

How does it work? You run/walk along your coach (an experienced psychotherapist) and talk about your troubles or whatever you wish to sort out. The speed is adjusted to your fitness. What is the advantage of combining a therapy session with jogging/walking? Gentle jogging provides you with a multi-effect: During exercise the brain releases endorphins which make you feel good. Both brain halves are getting stimulated. This has a relaxing effect on you. You will feel more creative. My best ideas I get while jogging along! Sorting out your thoughts and feelings while jogging along will provide you with an immediate sense of wellbeing. Is this method suitable for you? You will get good results � If you are feeling down � If you are experiencing anxiety � If you are struggling with excess weight � If you are struggling with problems at work � If you are feeling stuck in any way www.isstavanger.no PSYCHOLOGICAL COACHING WHILE JOGGING/WALKING DOUBLE YOUR TIME!
